"There's a common problem, but we won't tell you what it is."  A snarky
tech support way of not saying how easily fixable such a problem would
be and how deeply entrenched they are with Microsoft-only solutions, all
while condescendingly inferring that you aren't bright enough to
understand the problem if they did explain it.

Ask them to document the issue in detail and give an estimate of when
they'll fix it (or, what percentage of their users need to be on Firefox
before they'll take it seriously).
